Fools in April

[arkyleo]

This is just a "heads up" post for the 8th annual "Fools in April" camp/motel get together. Terry has already reserved the campground for the weekend of April 16th. Details will follow.
Friday evening, April 15th and Saturday, 16th. This year Terry will be preparing some chili Friday night so bring lots of "Fritos" and your adult (or kids) beverage. Most of the stores have the standard brands--anything exotic you will have to get somewhere else on the way there.
The camping fee is the same as last year, $7.00 for one or two nights per person. I have a new tent that I have never put up so if you want some comic relief, come earlier. Here is a link to the site at outlet park:

There are motels on every corner and here is a link to the chamber of commerce listing motels and contact info:
http://pommedeterrechamber.com/lodging.html I just called "Willow Winds" 2 miles West of the Dam and they are open. The rooms there will be $60 per night. 800-556-5591. See you there!

Is this event still on? Have not seen any updates.

[arkyleo]

Yes, it's still on. I just posted the "updates" in the same original "heads up" post--second paragraph. Should be plenty of motel rooms that time of year, and if it does rain, we have a shelter with electricity (and flush toilets) at the campsite.
Right next to the river, so if you have a mo fishing license--you could drown worms. Hope to see you there!

Weather looks awesome, you did good! See you at the campfire.

Weather was perfect with great tent sleeping and eagles flying up the river right next to the campground. Here are a few I took and Bob K may add some of his later.

I agree with Leo, great weather, friendly interesting group and great riding in any direction. Thank you Terry for all the set up, running, cooking, camp fire and everything else you did to make this a success, thank you Leo for keeping this going and bringing us closer together.[attachment=12]04-17-16 Fools in April 027.JPG[/attachment][attachment=11]04-17-16 Fools in April 034.JPG[/attachment][attachment=10]04-17-16 Fools in April 035.JPG[/attachment][attachment=9]04-17-16 Fools in April 046.JPG[/attachment][attachment=8]04-17-16 Fools in April 055.JPG[/attachment][attachment=7]04-17-16 Fools in April 063.JPG[/attachment][attachment=6]04-17-16 Fools in April 094.JPG[/attachment][attachment=5]04-17-16 Fools in April 106.JPG[/attachment][attachment=4]04-17-16 Fools in April 111.JPG[/attachment][attachment=3]04-17-16 Fools in April 211.JPG[/attachment][attachment=2]04-17-16 Fools in April 220.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]04-17-16 Fools in April 223.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]04-17-16 Fools in April 224.JPG[/attachment]

Leo and Bob:
Thank you for posting the pictures. I have never attended the "Fools in April", but after seeing how nice it was and how much fun you had, I will certainly put it on my calendar for next year. The pictures are great, glad you had such nice weather.
